Each day last week, we published a recycling fact across our social media.

In case you missed them, here’s a quick round up…

THESE TWO SIMPLE STEPS COULD TURN YOU INTO A RECYCLING SUPERHERO…

Fact 1: Wrexham residents recycled over 640 tonnes of cans last year.

Fact 2: Crisp packets, bread bags and sweet wrappers are not currently recyclable. Please place in to your black bag/bin waste.

Fact 3: Steel cans are 100% recyclable and can be recycled over and over again. They can even be turned in to bicycles.

Fact 4: People across Wrexham achieved a recycling, composting and reuse rate of 65.44% for 2017/18.
